in the Oak Tree
Up in the big oak tree, right in the middle of the market square, lives an old witch called Adiba. Adiba is at least one hundred and eighty years old. Her bones crack and she has many wrinkles, but her brain is still as supple and playful as a young cat. When the first scent of spring fills the air, Adiba wakes up and in her own fashion causes a stir in the small town. Throwing snowballs in summer, making field trips to the forest and ice cream every day – just for Adiba, mind you. The new major doesn’t like it one bit, a dirty old witch like that in the oak tree. But the citizens of the town know better: Adiba might be old, but still casts spells like no other.

Chip & Bos Robo Rangers all rights available
Chip knows everything about robots, which is not that surprising when your dad is a robot inventor. He loves their home robot Sten, the super smart Deedee and their robot dog Fixi. But there is one robot Chip never activates anymore: cleaning robot 200-HH, also known as Haahaa. He recently caused trouble in the whole of Essenstad by spreading a virus. Good thing they only use him as a coat hanger now.
Mrs. Klaar, who is just as good a robot inventor as Chip’s dad is, unexpectedly comes by and wants to repair Haahaa with a self-learning chip. Chip doesn’t trust her for a second. What exactly does she want to teach the old cleaning robot anyway? Then, Haahaa and Deedee disappear without a trace… Chip is sure: this has to be because of that self-learning chip! Along with Bos, Sten, and Fixi he starts an investigation.

In tien minuten, zeker. En het kasteel is ook anders. Groter. Dat stuk was er daarnet toch niet?’ ‘Nee. Er zit een heel stuk aan…’ ‘O, en die tuin!’ riep Floor. ‘Wat een rare tuin,’ zei Daan. ‘Net een kleedje.’ Ze staarden naar het kasteel. Het was heel stil in het park. ‘Schuif eens op.’ Daan liet zich van zijn tak zakken en kwam naast Floor zitten. ‘Ik snap er niks van.’ ‘Misschien verbeelden we het ons alleen maar’, zei Floor zachtjes. ‘Dat kan toch niet? We kunnen ons toch niet allebei hetzelfde verbeelden?’ ‘Ik weet wat,’ zei Floor. ‘We doen onze ogen dicht, we tellen tot drie en dan kijken we weer. Dan weten we het zeker.’

Moth and the Magnet Fishers is an original and enchanting story with just a touch of fantasy. A story about being yourself and about rust. Lots of rust.
Sanne Rooseboom, illustrations
The week that Moth found a submarine started like a relatively normal week. Boring even. So, the usual. A lot still had to happen before she would make her big discovery. She didn’t even have a magnet yet.
Moth’s name is actually Butterfly. But only her mother still calls her like that. She would have preferred a tidy, dainty child in a dress. But that’s not Moth. Moth likes black clothes and the old messy city she grows up in. As a sign of rebellion, she buys a magnet from her savings to fish in the old canal. And then she finds a small rusty submarine. That submarine is the start of a big adven ture, in which Moth meets the punk-acrobats from the wharf, takes on a power ful millionaire and even gets to know her mother.

A humorous series about helping each other and doing the right thing, about being adventurous but most of all about friendship
We help everyone, not just those we like. That's one of the strict rules of the centuries-old Ministry of Solutions, which anonymously solves other people's problems. But in practice, that rule is not easy for an eleven-year-old. Because the Ministry wants to solve Ralf's problems, and Ralf is such an unpleasant and angry boy that Nina does not want to help him at all. The Ministry of Solutions faces perhaps the most difficult problem yet: how do you help someone you really don't like?
